\n Jacob deGrom knows a repeat of last season won\u2019t be good enough. Not with a 60-game<\/a> schedule. He can\u2019t afford to get off to a slow start again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like giving up runs and I lost some sleep over some starts [from early last year],\u201d he said on Tuesday, referring to a three-start stretch when he allowed 14 earned runs in 13 innings and suffered three straight losses. \u201cDefinitely in a 60-game [season], you\u2019re going to feel a little bit more pressure. You only get so many times out there and you feel like you need to be on your game every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeGrom had enough time to rebound and win his second straight Cy Young Award. This year, that obviously won\u2019t be the case. There was brief concern that deGrom wouldn\u2019t be able to start the Mets\u2019 shortened season against the Braves on time, when back tightness limited him to one inning in an intrasquad game. He rebounded quickly, throwing 60 pitches on Sunday in a simulated game and expects to pitch the franchise\u2019s opener for the second straight year. DeGrom estimated he would be limited to 85-95 pitches on Friday, though it will also depend on how he\u2019s feeling. Most importantly, the back issue seems to be gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s totally in the past,\u201d he said. \u201cThe other day felt really good. \u2026 Everything\u2019s in line.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old right-hander will be vying to be the first pitcher to win three straight NL Cy Young awards since Randy Johnson won four straight from 1999-2002. It\u2019s one of his goals, to win another Cy Young, and it is on his mind, since he\u2019s been asked about it already multiple times.<\/p>\n

A stellar season is needed from him. The support behind him in the rotation isn\u2019t as strong as in years past, with Zack Wheeler now pitching for the Phillies and Noah Syndergaard out for the season following Tommy John surgery. That, along with a 60-game season, only increases the importance of each one of his outings, even if deGrom has always treated his starts with utmost importance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself to go out there and perform,\u201d he said. \u201cLike I\u2019ve said, I\u2019ve lost a lot of sleep over some games, dwelling on them, thinking what I could\u2019ve done different. It\u2019s just kind of the way I app<\/a>roach things. I\u2019ve kind of put pressure on myself to go out there and perform. When that doesn\u2019t happen, I\u2019m pretty disappointed with that. Having that mindset throughout my career has kind of helped me to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

There really is nothing that could prepare him for this season, though. It will be unlike any other. There won\u2019t be fans in the seats, at least at the outset, and the roar from the crowd will be artificial.<\/p>\n

He will throw his first pitch that counts in the third week of July. But when he toes the rubber late Friday afternoon, his mindset will be the same: Retire everyone who steps to the plate.<\/p>\n
